Prime Minister Modi to commission Vizhinjam seaport on May 2

 Prime Minister Narendra Modi will officially commission the Vizhinjam International Seaport on Friday (May 2), placing Kerala firmly on the global maritime map.

The port is expected to transform India’s role in international trade and shipping. The deep-water port has been developed by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ), India’s largest port developer and part of the Adani Group, under a public-private



partnership.

The project was completed at an estimated cost of Rs 8,867 crore. Following a successful trial run, the port received its commercial commissioning certificate on December 4 last year.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said this is not just the opening of a new port, but the beginning of a new era that will give Indian trade and logistics a stronger global presence.
